Restoration of the month

Fortunately, the medieval Grade II listed building, which has an unusual moulded “queen post” roof structure, usually only found in commercial buildings, was then acquired by the Norfolk Building Preservation Trust. They repaired it carefully, using traditional material.

The three-bedroom, two-reception room cottage, now in good shape and back on the market, is available through Fine and Country, Norwich, for £345,000 (01603 221888).
